Do you have any suggestion? Update: yum chose to use another mirror and it failed in the exact same way. [root at picard yum.repos.d]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities Determining fastest mirrors * base: mirrors.ircam.fr * extras: mirrors.ircam.fr * updates: mirrors.ircam.fr base | 1.1 kB 00:00 base/primary | 961 kB 00:00 Segmentation fault So either several mirrors all have the same corrupted file, or my box is generating a corrupted file each time. I would tend towards the second hypothesis, since other people have successfully updated their 5.6 installations to 5.7.
